Exit Whiterun. Look at your map and place a marker at Ivarstead (at the base of the backside of the huge mountain). It’s quite a trek, so you should definitely find a horse if you have not already done so. Enjoy the scenery.

Once you reach Ivarstead, feel free to talk to the natives before heading up the winding, snowy path to High Hrothgar. Once you reach the building, get off your horse and head up the stairs.

After you enter, go talk to Arngeir. Next, demonstrate your “Unrelenting Force” shout to prove you are indeed the Dragonborn. Follow Arngeir to the center area. After Einarth displays “The Word of Power,” move over to him and focus on the inscription in the ground in front of him.

After Einarth transfers his “understanding,” listen for Arngeir’s instructions. You will have to fire your “Shout” at three targets that will appear in the center area.

Follow Master Borri to the courtyard. Talk to him once you get outside, then look down at the inscription in front of him to learn the next word of power and absorb his “understanding.”

Make sure you equip yourself with your new Whirlwind Sprint power, then stand next to Borri and when the gate opens, perform the power to sprint through the open gate. Go and talk to Arngeir again.
